Star Wars: Rogue One Easter Eggs Will Feature Familiar Monsters

It’s standalone, but it’s also intricately connected to the first, original Star Wars.

This past weekend Disney held an enormous press junket letting us reporters check out the first almost thirty minutes of the film at Skywalker Ranch. There are rumors going around that the release of the first trailer for Star Wars: Episode 8 will be during the first quarter of 2017. If the fans wanted more, there’s some good news, another Star Wars titled game is under development with another take on the franchise. Exciting stuff! While little information is known about Episode VIII, we do know that the film picks up right after The Force Awakens, so there’s a real possibility that this piece of dialogue could literally be the first thing that is said in the film.

The brunette beauty worked hard to flawless her iconic line in the movie – “may the force be with us” – and knew it would be “momentous”.

Walt Disney World said it will use digital projections to temporarily transform the iconic spherical attraction Spaceship Earth at its Epcot theme park into the Death Star from Star Wars.

Rogue One is set in between Star Wars Episode III and IV, and seeing as Krennic doesn’t appear in the latter it’s easy to assume his clash with Vader leads to his downfall. In the footage we saw plenty of scenes showing how the Empire is trying to take control of the universe and the brutality that happens when you try and resist.

Several Star Wars sequel movies and spinoffs are now in the works.

Google Play has published its most popular download lists for the United Kingdom in 2016 and, perhaps unsurprisingly, it’s ball-flinging, pidgy-catching game Pokemon Go and Star Wars: The Force Awakens that proved most popular this year.

Journalists got a sneak peek this week at 28 minutes from the first standalone Star Wars movie (in theaters December 16), which introduces the backstory of new heroine Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones), a key member of the Rebel Alliance group tasked to steal the plans for the Empire’s Death Star (famously blown up in 1977’s Star Wars).

The 30-second look at the film is not only underscored by the sounds of what are assumed to be Darth Vader’s respirator but it also contains a shot of the Death Star featuring someone who looks an very bad lot like Grand Moff Tarkin in the foreground. Director Gareth Edwards was on hand to introduce the clips, joking that Disney and Lucasfilm had considered releasing a full half hour of the movie, but wanted to keep something in reserve.
